    We only have a few opt outs. 3 or 4, maybe? I’m personally ready to move on from ar. The oline will be ok without cy, and get his replacement some more work (also not sure he’s said he’s not playing yet?). Shorter and Dexter(has dexter said he’s out?) hurt mainly because we don’t have much behind them, but it is what it is, let the new guys get some work.

    I don’t know how many of the transfers are toxic, but if we want to take anything close to a normal sized class, they are necessary.

    You’re free to not accept it, but it is the new norm and there ain’t much you or I can do about it. No sense in taking cheap shots at our staff over it. As far as opt outs go, this year is nothing like the OK game a few years ago.

    *Dex has confirmed he is playing. So we have what, 2 opt outs?

    So far it looks like we have just as many players opting out as oregon state. Guess their staff has lost the team too.

    I tried to get a room there Sunday but none were available so we’re next door at the Luxor. Looking forward to the game!

    That helps. We haven't been able to cover a good TE all year.

    Dexter decides to play in the bowl game. This is good news. If we can get 10 more it'll be a win. Let's hope for a bakers dozen!:eek::p

    Go Gators.;)

    All I can say is Napier must have one heck of a class coming in. Between the portal and the recruits. My Georgia buddy was laughing when he saw how many heading to the portal. No one will be laughing but Gator Nation once these new folks get ramped up.

    The future looks good. "Trust the process", I hear coming from the sky!!

    Go Gators

    Right on, my brother. Our future is great, and brighter than anything we have seen in the last 15 years. So many are in the sky is falling camp. I don't get it, at all.

    Not only is our long term future superb, but also we shall go out west, and in 10 days from now, come back with a resounding win. The Florida Gators DO NOT lose 3 games in a row.
